CHAPTER SETTING UP 1 note these important points about the installation process: • When the language selection screen appears, select the same language you selected on your Treo 680. • WINDOWS ONLY You can choose which desktop software you want to use for synchronization: Palm Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook. NOTE Whether you select to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook or Palm Desktop software, Palm Desktop software is still installed on your computer. If you use Outlook as your desktop email application, select Outlook as your desktop synchronization software. Remember that when you enter information on your computer, enter it in the software you selected in this step. • The install process prompts you to connect your Treo 680 to your computer. Go to the next section. 0 Connecting your Treo 680 to your computer After you install the desktop software (see Installing the desktop synchronization software), you're ready to connect your Treo 680 to your computer. BEFORE YOU BEGIN To set up your computer, you need the sync cable that came with your Treo 680. 1 Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet. 2 Plug the USB sync cable into an available USB port or a powered USB hub on your computer. TIP For best performance, plug your sync cable directly into a USB port on your computer. If your computer has USB ports on both the front and back, we suggest using the back port; the front port is often a low-power port. If you use a USB hub, make sure the hub has its own power supply. 3 With the sync button facing up, connect the sync cable to the bottom of your Treo 680. Do not press the sync button until you are instructed to do so. 21
